E8's blog is up! It's at eHuat.bs and it's alive and active with updates and pictures!

Really love E8 to bits. They're growing so much and I'm just so proud of each and every one of them; God is moving and things are happening in the CG as they stay faithful to what they're doing for God. Keep going guys!

Pastors have always told us: New levels, new devils. Every time we reach another level in God and in life, we face a new set of obstacles which are mostly harder. It's like every other computer games where the difficulty increases by each level. I guess that's what I'm facing now in terms of handling stress and tiredness, and I'm glad to say I'm coping quite well. I'll overcome it!

I'm just happy that more than drawing closer to God, I'm drawing closer to my leaders and people in church again. If you're wondering what's with the countdown to the 60 days, I've actually set a goal to achieve in 2 months (which ends this week!) to be more connected and transparent to my pastors and leaders again. It's a long story how I got quite disconnected a while, but I wanted so much to get back in flow with my pastors and the rest of the church.

I think all of us want to be led by our leaders with joy and not with grief. I think every leader is happy whenever their member is transparent and honest towards them about their thoughts and feelings. Garrett and Jamie were delighted when I took the first step to share with them how I thought and felt, even though certain things might not have been very pleasant towards them. Ever since then, I was so encouraged to be more and more transparent towards them!

Communication, that's what it's about. I'm glad that communication is good in my life right now, with my leaders, with my friends, my family, and last but not least, with my CG members. The same way my leaders felt very happy when I opened up to them, the same way I feel happy whenever any one in E8 shares with me their honest thoughts and feelings, and what they're going through in their lives.

Yes E8, it comforts me to hear from you guys, be it good news or bad. Let's keep this as we grow! If there's one wish I can have which might sound impossible, is that I can still be this close to each and every one of you when we grow to 50 or 60 people... But even if that happens, the least I want to have is that we can still communicate and be open to one another. You guys hold a huge place in my heart and my life. :)

I thank God for actually hearing my personal, casually-mentioned 60-day-goal and taking it seriously. Well, it's time to think for a new one. I wonder...

Keep believing. Keep praying. God is moving in all our lives.

Keep growing. :)
